Cowboys-Redskins Preview; Florida's Urban Meyer resigns, then changes mind
Saturday's Sports Update
December 26, 2009 - 11:34pm
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — While his coaching successes mounted and his tough-as-nails reputation grew, Urban Meyer admits there was one thing he didn't pay much attention to - his health.
That hit home when chest pains sent him to the hospital after Alabama beat his Florida Gators in the Southeastern Conference championship game on Dec. 5.
And so on Saturday, exactly three weeks later, the 45-year-old Meyer shook all of college football by saying he was stepping down. He resigned after five seasons and two national titles. In so many words, he said he needed to get his priorities straight. Saturday morning, he had a change of heart and said he will come back afterall.
